    Picked up another B7100HST-D

    Actually the name "Bulldog" has nothing to do with the "Dawgs". I earned that one honestly. It envolved my B 7100 pulling a small utility trailer and my nieghbors 2200 LB PISSED OFF BULL :eek: :mad: :eek: and a chase across my pasture. That's a whole other story. It's hard to make a high...

    Old Kubota orange paint

    Do you guys in Ontario have Tractor Supply stores up there? They sell Tractor and Implement paint in the old Kubota orange and the New Kubota orange for about $5.49 in a spray can, $11.99 for QT can, and $32.99 for a gallon. They carry about all the major equipment brands colors. I have used it...

    No RPM past 1500 without dying

    Make sure your tank vent tube is open. If your tank can't get air in it won't let fuel out like it should. It will just barely let enough thru to let the engine run. Your idle speed sounds like it's to low. I believe it should be around the 650 -800 rpm range, both of mine are. A higher idle is...

    Picked up another B7100HST-D

    You opened up a can of worms with this question. You may need a note pad for the answers you will get on that subject. I use either Marvelle Mystery oil or Mercon Dextron ATF fluid. What you are going thru now I would use the Marvelle at a ratio of 4 oz. to 10 gal. of fuel. I mix the ATF with...

    Tow Vehicle?? What do you tow your Kubota with??

    Aquaforce, You are very welcome. I personally didn't take what you posted as brand bashing in any way, shape or form. I don't know why anybody would. If anybody should have had a problem with it I think it would have been blkvoodoo who is the Toyota owner we were discussing. He hasn't had any...

    Steering problem

    Yes, your steering works off the hydraulic fluid reservoir. I have never been around a BX Kubota but I'm sure that it is like the rest of the Kubotas are. The Oil should have been changed at 50 hrs the first time to get the initial wear particles out of the system and then again at 300 hrs...

    Picked up another B7100HST-D

    Just knowing that it came from a church and probably several different members did the operating on it I bet it never recieved the proper maintenance. My guess on the smoke and the sputtering is that it probably has a dirty fuel system and needs a filter change and some cleaner run thru it. It...

    Hydraulic line size

    Most tractors that size will have either 1/4 or 3/8 size hydraulic lines with "JIC" type fittings.

    Tow Vehicle?? What do you tow your Kubota with??

    One thing that OTT has plenty of is opinions and if it's a hot subject matter you can be assured that a little bit of everything will be shared so here is mine about the bashing. :eek: I haven't seen any bashing on any brand of toe vehicle. You are definately right about everybodies toe needs...

    M6800 Shuttle doesn't shift without clutch

    What year did they offer a hydraulic shuttle in the 6800? I would love to have that on my 9000 but it's not even shown as a option in any of the books that I have on that series of tractor. The first Kubota in this HP range that I ever saw with a hyd shuttle was the newer M 40 series tractors.

    ROPS for L245DT

    On my tractor my rops is a two piece from the factory. It has a piece of channel that is slid in each side of the tube about 6" on each side. It has a nut welded on the inside of the channel and is bolted from the outside of the rops. I would use a cut off wheel or a port-a-band to cut the...

    B6100 R2 Paddy/Cane Tires

    If you could find a set of R1 long bar/short bar tread pattern tires for it they would be a good choice. I have a set of Titans on my M 9000 and they do great in the mud. I have never looked for a set to go on a small tractor though. If you have turf tires on it now any type of ag tires would...

    bx2230 3point problem

    Is the guide rod that is connected to the 3pt control in a bind or bent? If it can't slide freely thru the guide hole in the control it will kick it back to the hold position just like it is at it's set limit point. Maybe a simple adjustment or a shot of spray lube will help you if it is...

    ZD 331 power issues

    To keep this from happening again you need to fill your tanks up every day after you use it. When the tanks get hot from normal and then get cooled down after being shut off or from a cool afternoon rain it will make the tanks sweat and then you will have water that will collect on every part of...

    Tow Vehicle?? What do you tow your Kubota with??

    My brother had a nice Toyota SR5 exta cab 4x4 with a V6 in it. I don't remember the tow specs on it were but he bought a 21' ski boat with a double axle trailer. The first time he tried to back it in his back yard he got a surprise. The curb was only about 2" high but when the rear tire of the...

    pto drive line guard maintenance

    All of my PTO driven equipment has the fitting already molded in the plastic but yours may be to where a standard fitting can be installed. That would be a plus in many ways if yours is that way. If it ever got damaged you could just replace the fitting and you would be back in business. Either...

    B7500HSD "knock" on the upper head area

    If it was me unless the tank had trash that was stuck in the bottom I wouldn't take it off. I would just remove the fuel line that goes to the fuel filter and drain it there. After I caught the fuel that was in the tank I would wash it out with a water hose dry let it dry out good. Then taker a...

    pto drive line guard maintenance

    I'm not sure what you have but I know that all of mine have a plastic grease fitting on each end of the shaft that is just for greasing the outer cover/guard. Then all that will leave for you to do is about once per year slide the drive shaft apart and grease the inner shafts so they will slide...
